LeBron, Cavaliers top Nuggets
Associated Press A banged-up LeBron James scored 26 points and got enough help from his teammates to lead the Cleveland Cavaliers past the Denver Nuggets 94-85 on Thursday night at Cleveland. James bruised his left shin and hobbled to the locker room with 29 seconds left in the first half. He came back with the shin wrapped for support. He also got support from Damon Jones and Donyell Marshall. Jones scored 17 points and Marshall 11. Both hit big 3-pointers as the Cavaliers ended a three-game losing streak. Carmelo Anthony, coming off a career-high 42 points in a win over Charlotte on Tuesday night, scored 23 to lead Denver but shot just 8-of-23. The Nuggets played without Marcus Camby, inactive with a sprained right pinkie finger. James, who had nine assists, ended a stretch of six games with 30 or more points. That could be good news for the Cavaliers, who went 1-5 with James carrying the load during that stretch. Spurs 90, Timberwolves 88 Michael Finley scored 21 points, including the last six for San Antonio, to help the Spurs hold off Minnesota at Minneapolis. Kevin Garnett got the best of Tim Duncan with 24 points and a season-high 21 rebounds, but the Timberwolves dropped their third straight game when Troy Hudson's off-balance, running jumper in traffic at the buzzer fell short. Duncan had 13 points and nine rebounds, missing four of his seven free-throw attempts. He was 5-for-20 from the foul line in his previous two games. The Spurs, who improved to 18-4, are 16-0 when they shoot 45 percent or better from the field. Get area high school sports scores and statistics at Varsity Sports.
